Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.In dinky Highgate Village stands the Flask, a favourite North London drinking haunt. The interior of the 17th-century building, named after the barrels in which the healthy (well, healthier than what flowed through the plague pits around the Fleet) Highgate spa water was transported, is composed of little rooms on different levels containing two or three tables and a variety of prints and Victorian fardels. Drinks include mulled wine (£2.10) and a pleasant whisky toddy (£1.60), plus a weekly guest ale. Now that there's a sniff of spring in the air hardier souls might want to sit in a front yard with a pleasant view over Highgate's salubriousness which still suffers from the loss of the cherry trees that used to grow there.
